BRANDON MOSS RUMORS & GOSSIP

GOODYEAR, Ariz. (AP) As he works on his potent swing, Brandon Moss is also testing his patience this spring.
Acquired in a December trade from Oakland to bring more power to Cleveland's lineup, the All-Star from last season has been making solid progress as he recovers from hip surgery. Both he and the Indians' training staff have been encouraged that he's ahead of schedule.

GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- When the Indians training staff issued their first rehab updates for players last Thursday, the original prognosis for Brandon Moss was that he would not be doing any on-field hitting until early March. On Thursday, Moss took batting practice with the rest of the outfielders on one of the side fields for the third straight day.The past two days Moss has shown...

GOODYEAR, Ariz. -- When David Murphy landed in Phoenix on Sunday, his first stop wasn't to check in at the Indians Player Development Complex. It was to have dinner with Brandon Moss and his family.
After coming up together through the Red Sox organization, Moss and Murphy are together in the majors for the first time as members of the Indians. Even though both are vying for the...

Brandon Moss and Nick Swisher could be ready to play in spring training games by mid-March as Indians trainer James Quinlan gave an update Thursday on players who have reported.
Moss, who had surgery on his right hip to repair a torn labrum in late October, is completing overhand-toss hitting while building up his sprint work. He is expected to begin position-specific running in...

On Wednesday, I explained some of the reasons Spring Training matters to me. In doing so, I neglected to discuss anything about the actual pitchers and catchers reporting for the Cleveland Indians. Well, the Tribe did have their official opening of Spring Training and MLB.com’s Jordan Bastian reports that most of the players are already in Goodyear and practicing.

Most people will probably remember Brandon Moss’ 2014 season in two ways:
Terrible second-half slump
Two-homer wild card game, seemingly out of nowhere
On the surface that’s a fair assessment of how his season went, but it’s also incomplete. A quick look at Moss’ end-of-season stats — .234, 25 HR, 81 RBI — shows a considerable amount of pop, but imagine how awesome...

With the acquisition of 1B/OF Brandon Moss on Tuesday, the Indians added another power bat to their lineup. Moss, whom went through hip surgery in October, should provide a much-needed boost to an Indians team that finished ninth in the AL in home runs this past season.
It will be interesting to see where Moss fits in the roster with his versatility. Moss spent time in left field...

It was a deal that had been in place – or at the very least rumored to be in place – for a few days. On Monday afternoon, the Cleveland Indians and Oakland Athletics finally pulled the trigger, sending slugging first baseman/corner outfielder Brandon Moss to Cleveland for minor league second baseman, Joey Wendle.

So, you all wanted more power in the lineup? Well now you’ve got it. The Cleveland Indians shipped a prospect out and brought in an All-Star. Nice to be on the other side of things for once, isn’t it?
Brandon Moss, a 31-year old power hitter with two years left of team control, is your new middle-of-the-order bat. Yes, I am aware he hits left-handed, but in reality, that doesn’t...

The Indians have made their first big move of the offseason today in acquiring Brandon Moss from the Oakland Athletics. In exchange for Moss, the Tribe sent minor league infielder Joey Wendle to Oakland. Last season in Oakland, Moss hit .234 with 25 home runs and 81 RBI in 147 games. He was selected to the 2014 MLB All-Star game after hitting .268 with 21 homeruns and 66 RBI...
